Our doings and Week 2 of 51 week food storage

 I don't know if I will continue this as I have only had 1 person who said it was interesting even lol.

I am including family recipes as you see. Most of them are over a century old and more and some newer ones.

Oh and it is 51 weeks because then that gives you week 52 to see what holes you need to fill yet. I am not putting everything people need in this so you will have to figure out  what you use the most besides toiletries, medicines, baby items etc etc.

Dave is off to Spokane today and Kaylee to day care for the first time this week.

No more news from cousin in Japan, last he said was his 20 something daughter is now home and everything seems alright for now.

No more news on Sandy, just waiting for the infection to clear up.

Dave's spots on his head looks a whole let better this week :).

We have started to separate the cow and calf at night now so we can milk in the mornings and get more milk, I have to do that by myself tonight. Hope it goes okay.

The snow is gone except for the highest drifts and under the trees. Makes us think of the garden and Dave thought today  whoops need to get the rototiller in to see why it won't start.
